A view of the Plough or Big Dipper in the night sky with a mass of clouds in the lower right corner with light reflecting off of them.
Focusing on the positive; check out the views of the night sky from my skylights at our new house in South Oxfordshire. I cannot wait for winter!

He profits when our economy implodes. Itβs a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce whose firm is levered long fixed income. Itβs an irreconcilable conflict of interest.β
I donβt even know what to say here. Weβre talking about a generational posting crashout. Lmfao NOW youβre concerned about conflicts of interest.
